CAPUA, Italy, June 16 (Xinhua) -- Under the early summer sun of southern Italy, the plains of Campania pulse with the rhythms of agricultural life. Tomato plants ripen in neatly aligned rows, olive trees shimmer under the Mediterranean heat, and water buffaloes graze quietly near barns that produce the region's famed Mozzarella di Bufala.
Campania is home to a tapestry of prized food products protected by European geographical indications; however, much of this bounty is cultivated by small, family-run farms steeped in tradition but often lacking the tools to access global markets.
